He says he’s not sexually attracted to me and he cares about me but he’s so incredibly stressed out with work. He leaves at 7:30 and comes back around 9PM and still does some work. He’s opened his first business and it’s not going well. He’s under a lot of pressure and he told me right now all he cares about is work. He’s worked so damn hard for this and I understand. We decided to try and wait it out. He told me when he comes home he doesn’t want to snuggle or talk, he just wants to relax. He even told me he thinks I should go on a date just to feel those butterflies again and he wouldn’t hold it against me. Do you think his indifference for me could come back when things settle down? We are best friends and had a great relationship before that’s why I’m holding out for things to change.

I think more information from you is needed.
I am a relationship coach and I have noticed that you have not mentioned how you feel about any of these things. When you think ‘I’m holding out’, how do you feel? Is this the main problem for you or is it one of the other things you mentioned?
Right now I’m trying to follow his lead and give him space because I know what I’m like when I’m stressed and exhausted I don’t want to have to entertain someone. I love him, I love him family. He’s my absolute best friend. We’ve been together for 3 years and he’s amazing
